Located in Whittle, Russell County near Jamestown, Kentucky, Alligator I provides boat access to Wolf Creek and Lake Cumberland. From US 127 north of Jamestown, turn right on KY 80, then right onto KY 76 to reach the ramp at the end of the road. This is part of the Indian Hills Resort/Alligator II Marina recreation area.

The region also offers cultural interest, with Mill Springs Battlefield National Monument nearby for exploring Civil War history.
**Planning Your Visit:**
This is an unresevable public access site. Paddlers should contact the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife or local marinas for current conditions, seasonal considerations, and any facility amenities. The site's proximity to Lake Cumberland's main marina area suggests good access to services and supplies in the region.
